1. AGREEMENT

By using our web hosting services, you agree to comply with our policies. You are expected to use the Internet with respect, courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to the rights of other Internet users. We expect you to have a basic knowledge of how the Internet functions, the types of uses which are generally acceptable, and the types of uses which are to be avoided. Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use. The following are unacceptable uses:

Illegality in any form, including but not limited to activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted software, harassment, fraud, trafficking in obscene material, drug dealing, and other illegal activities.

2. Interpretation

The provisions of this Policy are intended as guidelines and are not meant to be exhaustive. Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this Policy, is prohibited. BEST-VIEW@ reserves the right at all times to prohibit activities that damage its commercial reputation and goodwill.

3. Illegal Use

BEST-VIEW@ servers may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of non-acceptable content or links (but not limited to): "Pirated software", "Hackers programs or archives", "Warez Sites", "Irc Bots", "Mp3".

We will be the sole arbiters as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

4. Unlimited Traffic

UNLIMITED TRAFFIC does not apply to any domain account consuming 20% or more of systems resources. Following are a list of sites that will often require more than 20% of our systems resources: Multiple sub-domains residing at a single domain name, domains with archives, (i.e. .exe, .zip, .tar, etc.), and domain accounts offering download files.

We are not saying that your web site cannot contain such files, however if at any time they consume 20% or more of our systems resources you will be contacted to resolve the problem. BEST-VIEW@ will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

5. System and Network Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: unauthorized access, use, probe, or scan of a systems security or authentication measures, data or traffic.

If a customer has breached any of the above restrictions, which a customer uses, such unlimited services will unfairly deprive other users' opportunities, BEST-VIEW@ may with or without notice to such customer, take any or all of the following remedial actions:
